Peak Hours

Peak Hours is a Premium scheduler feature that limits automatic bumps to a specific time window each day. Instead of bumping at all hours, your server only bumps when your audience is most active.

Why it matters

Bumps that land when your target audience is online convert better. A bump at 3am is mostly wasted — a bump during your community's prime time reaches real people.

Requirements

• Active Premium subscription on the server
• Auto-bump Scheduler must be enabled

How to configure

1. Open your server's dashboard
2. Select your server and go to Setup
3. Under the Scheduler section, enable Peak Hours
4. Select your Timezone
5. Set Start Hour and End Hour (24-hour format)
6. Click Save Changes

Rules

• Minimum window of 2 hours required
• Hours use 24-hour format (e.g. 18 = 6:00 PM, 23 = 11:00 PM)
• If the scheduler fires outside the window, the bump is held until the window opens
• The default recommendation is 18:00–23:00 in your server's timezone

Example

A gaming community with members primarily in North America (Eastern) sets:

• Timezone: America/New_York
• Start: 17 (5:00 PM)
• End: 23 (11:00 PM)

The scheduler will only fire bumps between 5 PM and 11 PM ET, concentrating visibility during peak gaming hours.

Timezones

Over 24 timezones are supported including all major US, European, Asian, and Australian zones. Select the timezone that best matches your community's location.
